A Day at the Beach!


Earlier this month we decided to escape this cold weather and head to the beach. It was a Tuesday and we surprized the kids that morning "surprise! you are not going to school today". We figure everyone needs a break sometimes, I know I do!
It was such fun and we practically had the entire beach to ourselves.
Pretty much the only thing we did was have lunch, go buy sand toys at the local Walmart, and head to the sand. The kids were in heaven and it was in the mid 80's!
Jonas' creative juices were flowing
And I discovered that playing with sand was very cathartic. I haven't gotten down in the sand and played at the beach since I was a kid and it totally reminded me of going to all the fun beaches back east as a kid, Virginia Beach, Atlantic City, etc. (btw, the baby was sleeping in the stroller the whole time!)

We decided that we would make going to Pinkberry our new tradition since we went there last time and it is sooo good. And so will going to this huge mountain of sand:

which is the same one from last year:
